VERSE 1- TODD THE AUTHOR
DEAR GOD, HEY IT'S TODD, LORD I KNOW YOU KNOW ME WELL,
USED TO HANG OUT WITH THEM HUSTLERS, SPENT A COUPLE NIGHTS IN JAIL.
KINDA FRAIL IN THIS LIVING, BUT HARD WHEN I SPEAK,
MY OUTER SHELL IT WAS DRIVEN, SO ROUGH AND SO DEEP.
BUT OFTEN TIMES, I SAT ALONE WITH FEARS UP IN THE SHOWER,
TEARS TRINKLE DOWN MY FACE, LORD, LONGING FOR YOUR POWER.
I DESIRED, MANY YEARS TO BE NEAR, BUT IT WASN'T CLEAR,
I HAD, MANY THOUGHTS OF THE AFTER LIFE, AFTER NIGHTS OF DRINKING BEER.
ME AND FOLKS SAT FOR HOURS, LATE NIGHT STARING AT STARS,
BUT GOD IT'S HARD TO SEE YOU THROUGH SCARS AND PRISON BARS.
WITH ODDS AND PEOPLE'S NODS AGAINST ME, IN GHETTO WARS I'M EMPTY,
MY LIFE IS FILLED BY DRINKING CASES IN THE CAR, I'M SIMPLY-
JUST ANOTHER, PART TIME HUSTLER,
TRYING TO SHAKE THE WAYS OF A FULL TIME STRUGGLER.
STEADILY BATTLING WITH DEMONS, THAT COME DAILY,
MAKING ME HATE, ALL OF MY ENEMIES GREATLY.
I WALKED AROUND SOMETIMES, FEELING LIKE I'M OUT OF PLACE,
I'D GO FROM SHAKING HANDS , TO PULLING PISTOLS IN THE FACE.
THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD SICK, BETTER OFF DEAD,
SHOULD I LISTEN TO MY CONSCIENCE OR THESE VOICES INSTEAD.
I GOT A, FACE FOR THE CLUB, A FACE FOR THE STREET,YOU KNOW A, FACE FOR MY FRIENDS, THE GAME OF THE WEEK.
CAN'T LET THEM SEE MY INNER MAN, CAUSE HE'S WRETCHED AND SAD,
A YOUNG LAD WISHING I HAD MORE, MISSING MY DAD.
FEEL LIKE I'M, WASTING MY TIME, KNOW I , GOTTA HAVE A NINE, IT'S LIKE I'M, HEADED FOR HELL CAUSE I'M SPOTTING ALL THE SIGNS, FEEL ME!
HOOK- SANG BY HOLYSMOAK
OH LORD ALL OF MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU, NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU LORD.
ALL OF THESE YEARS I'VE WASTED ALL OF MY TIME, BUT NOW I REALIZE NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU.
VERSE 2- TODD THE AUTHOR
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY SOLDIER, LET ME OPEN YOUR MIND,
GOD,DESIGNED THIS PLAN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
DIVINE SON BY THE HOLY GHOST, BIRTHED IN MARY,
SEED PLANTED BY THE SPIRIT, BUT THIS TALE AIN'T FAIRY.
IT'S KINDA SCARY IN THIS LIFE,SEPARATED FROM GOD,
FROM THE START BORN SINNING, SINCE THEY CALLED MY NAME TODD.
OUT OF THE WOMB I WAS PUSHED, FROM ONE DARK TO ANOTHER,
NOTHING CUTE ABOUT A BABY, WITH SIN TO DISCOVER.
ADAM AND EVE SOLD ME OUT, STOPPED SHORT BY A SNAKE,
SATAN CREEPS IN ALL FORMS, DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES.
TRICK A MAN UP OUT OF HIS DREAMS, WITH SCHEMES OF PRETTY LIES,
EVERY FRUIT THAT LOOKS RIPE, BOY COULD BE A DISGUISE.
TOOK A BITE, ONE TOO MANY, NOW HE CAN'T STOP EATING,
PRETTIEST WIFE IN THE WORLD, STILL HE CAN'T STOP CHEATING.
DON'T GET MUCH SLEEP, I'M AWAKENED, SHAKING, DEEP ON THE EDGE,
HAND ON MY HEAD IN A PILLOWCASE STUCK ON THE BED.
TEARS OF A CLOWN,Y OU NEVER SEEN A GANGSTER WITH TEARS,
A GROWN MAN WITH THE GUN IN HAND, HURTING WITH FEAR.
TELL ALL MY STORIES, TO A BOTTLE OF BEER, PLEASE DON'T GET NEAR,
I MIGHT REACT LIKE A TRAPPED DEER, HIT BY A SPEAR.
WEIGHED DOWN, WAIT NOW, HEARD A SOUND THAT MADE ME TWITCH,
"YOU CAN'T KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS, DON'T MAKE ME GET MY SWITCH"
TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES, LAY IT DOWN, PUT YOUR PRIDE IN YOUR POCKET,
I SEE THAT LOCK UP ON YOUR HANDCUFFS, LET ME UNLOCK IT.
OH BY THE WAY, THAT PISTOL, DECOCK IT, GO AHEAD AND PRAY,
ADMIT THAT YPU'RE A SINNER AND THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY-
THE TRUTH, THE LIFE, TONIGHT, I'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE,
FOR EVERY TIME YOU HIT YOUR WIFE, I GOT BLOOD TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
NOW YOU CAN SEE LIKE A PRINCE, AFTER BEING THE FROG,
PRODIGAL SON RUNNING HOME, AFTER WRESTLING WITH HOGS.
NOW PICTURE ME, THE O.G., SCREAMING "GLORY TO GOD",
TEARS STREAMING AT THE ALTAR, "LORD, COME IN MY HEART"
HOOK-HOLYSMOAK.
